A new challenge for iamcal readers:

I won a £10 amazon gift voucher from Sul, in this contest. What should i spend it on? Best suggestion gets bought by me from amazon.co.uk (don't worry if it's a bit over £10).

post your suggestions here

Put it towards this beauty, if you can hold off spending it for that long.

Get this

Be the first on your street to get this beauty. Amazon says, "If you can examine a string like this "(\\.|[^"\\])*" and know what it does and how it does it there's plenty of reference material in here for those odd moments when you need a refresher." :) It's a shame that it's twice as much as you've got to spend, though, at £19.95. :(
Posted by cal, 08:42, 26th July 2002:
 
i've already got that one mr jacob ;)

jess: i've got the brasseye dvd - excellent stuff. you could just borrow it...
Posted by jeff, 10:10, 26th July 2002:
 
i am currently borrowing a copy along with both spaced dvds so offer much appreciated but i'm alright.. besides, why buy anything when you have a brother who has everything, well.. most things..

Posted by cal, 11:23, 26th July 2002:
 
(and that's quite an importent thing to have)

cal: This is the second edition, though. The first ed. is from 1997 or something.

ooooooh. i may have a look at what's new

not alot has changed in regexp world, apart from the weird perl 5 extensions.

perl 6 is going to be very fun to try and get used to
Posted by sanchez, 12:13, 29th July 2002:

Posted by cal, 12:17, 29th July 2002:
 
perhaps not
Posted by ell, 18:29, 29th July 2002:

Do we have a winner, then?
If only Amazon sold cool stuff like those 'Battle Conkers' I got you for Christmas a few years back...
Posted by cal, 18:01, 30th July 2002:
 
those conkers were cool

i'd quite like to get either heathers or the cd by someone's friend's band (can anyone find that thread? pocket rockets i think they were called)

Posted by ell, 04:36, 5th August 2002:
 
Well, if you will ask a question of us crowd, you can't expect any mature and/or sensible suggestions :P
Posted by jlittle, 11:17, 8th August 2002:

Posted by cal, 08:34, 9th August 2002:
